John Swinton's paper says that the new
labor party, must stand for freedom. II
must shelter no machine, no bosses, nc
letters, no secret juntas, no dark lantern
procedure. 1t must not tolerate the rule
of mercenaries, tricksters, bigots, bull
dosers, pharisees, mountebanks, Shy
locks, doublefaced men, hobby riders
pettifoggers and Office hunters"
A platform arranged on this pattern
would be very nice platform so nice
in fact that the laboringman would hard
ly think of standing on it, with his mud
dy shoes.

A curious scene occurred in Boston
court the other day. One William b.
Orr was on trial for bigamy, and both his
wives were in court with their children
and embraced and kissed each other,
while the little ones played together on the
floor. Orr parted with his wives with
tears and declared that as soon as he was
at liberty he would engage apartments in
Roxbury, where they could all live togeth-
er. But the laws of Massachusetts may
have something to say about that.

A heavy bank robbery was committed
the other day in the City of Mexico, by
which one of the leading banking firms
has sustained loss of 100000 All that
has been made public about the theft is
that the officers of the institution on COM
ing to the bank one morning found the
door of the vault wide open. The cash
had been carried OFF, with the exception
of some bags of silver, with which the
thieves evidently did not wish to burden
themselves. SO far, there seems to be nc
clue to the robbers, though it hardly seems
possible that the crime could have been
committed without treachery on the part
of some of the bank employees

There are some indications that gen
eral lowering of the passenger rates on
American railroads will soon take place.
A step in this direction has already been
taken by the Pennsylvania lines west of
Pttsburg, which have put on sale 1000
mile mileage books, good for year, at
two and half cents mile. This is con-
siderably lower rate than has hitherto
been granted. If the roads generally
would follow this excellent example, the
certain result would be large increase
of the amount of railroad travel in this
country, and of the profits of the roads.

Four of the justices on the United

Field and Bradley, are more than seventy
years of age, and may at any time retire

ident Cleveland an opportunity of max

So long as DIR. McGlynn INDUCES in
such talk as the following, he must be
considered dangerous man. He said, at
recent public meeting
do not advocate the killing of the czar,
but if should read tomorrow that he
had been killed, don't think I'd put any
Grape on my hat. While l am not here to
defend the killing of the car, | am here
to do full justice to the man who follows
the dictates of his conscience and thinks
it is his duty to kill the car. 1t is emf
nently proper for the state department to
discriminate between the vulgar criminal
and those heroic men who fight for right
kill the czar.
This defence of assassination for polit-
zeal purposes is bad doctrine to be preach
ed to the dangerous classes in America.

Among tho decisions recently rendered

one in the case of the State VS.. l.. B. Goss
is of special interest as involving the
question of the legal rights and privileges
of the express companies and express
agents in handling liquors. In this case
Mr.. Goss, express agent at East Barnet,
delivered certain packages containing
liquor marked &c. O. d." and received the
pay therefor and was prosecuted for fur
nishing liquor. He testified that he did
not positively know that any one of the
packages contained liquor, but admitted
that he suspected one of them did. Judge
Ross therefore ordered verdict of guilty.
The case was appealed, and now the Su
preme Court also rules that it is not nee
essary that the express agent should

EOrr.street Church.

Printed copies of a memorial for the
consolidation of the Fort-street and
Bethel Union Churches, prepared by a
committee OF the former church, have
been distributed the last day or so. The
memorial states that
The union of the Bethel Union and Fort
street Churches at the present time would
result in the advancemento of Christ's King
dom in Honolulu and the Hawaiian ISL
ands.
At the time of the organization of the
Fort-street Church the especial duty of the
Bethel Union Church was its labor for the
thousands of seamen of the whaling fleet
which at that time made Honolulu its
headquarters
To do this occupied and taxed it's pastor
so that it was impossible for him to give
that attention to the growing foreign pop
ulation resident here which it required.
To meet that need the FOrt-street Church
was organized, and to that work has es-
pecially given its efforts during its entire
history. The decline of the whaling inter
est, Withdrawing as it did the great fleet of
vessels with its thousands of sailors from
our harbor. together with the rise of the
sugar interest, launched these Islands
upon a new era of development SO differ
ent from the former that great and perma-
nent changes in the political, social and re-
hgious life of the community have followed.
One consequence is that where the two
churches found separate and independent
fields of labor, the one among the transient,
the other among the settled population,
the situation to-day is that each now gives
its strength to the work among the perma-
nent residents of the city, and we have two
sister churches with the same creed, the
same form of organization and the same
purposes seeking to secure from the same
class of population that support and en-
dorsement which each must have to be
successful
1t is proposed, if consolidation is
agreed upon, to call the new church the
Congregational Church of Honolulu"
Action on the matter will be taken
Tuesday evening, May 18th.

PECULIAR MARINE Parasites.

We caught q number of sharks, and
with them some of their peculiar para
sites, remorae, small fish resembling cat
fish, which, by sucker ON top of their
heads, attach themselves to the sharks
under their fins so firmly it Is difficult to
pull them OFF. In some places a larger
remora is used for catching turtles. The
fishermen carry them out in boats with a
around the tail. When they approach
turtle they throw the renora toward it.
which quickly swims to it and attaches it
self to it so firmly that the turtle is drawn
to the boat by it. One evening we seemed
to run into a sea of fire., On all sides the
surface of the water was nlu1nined with
greenish blue phosphorescent light.
Buckets were thrown over the side to
ascertain the cause, and when drawn up
found to contain number of objects rel
sembling corncobs in size, form and
roughness of exterior, but of a hard
transparent, gelatinous substance. Pyro-
soma is the technical name for them,
though very appropriately, as / thought
our men called them sea pickles. An
opening at one end and extending nearly
the whole length corresponds with the
pith of a cOrncob. Although so solid,
each form consists of great number of
distinct, living objects adhering firmly to
each other. The whole mass was lumi-

A very interesting communication to
The Medical News has been made by DR..
F. Peyre Pocher, of Charleston, on the
influence of the recent earthquake shocks
in that city upon the health of the inhab-
itants. In addition to the natural alarm
and fright which were quite universal,
some persons were attacked with nausea
and vomiting, which required or persisted
in several cases for days. Two gentlemen
ON the islands eighty miles from Charles
ton had their eyes flled with tears not to
be repressed, but not caused by alarm or
fears for their personal safety, for the
danger there was not imminent. Many
persons experienced decidedly electrical
disturbances, which were repeated on the
successive recurrence of the shocks. These
were generally tingling, prickling sensa
tons, like needles and pins,' affecting
the lower extrenities. One gentleman
was completely relieved of his rheumatism;
another, who for months was nervous,
depressed and entirely unable to attend to
business, regained his former activity and
energy. Several cases of mental disturb
ance, owing to anxiety and prolonged loss
of rest, some of themIp persistent, occurred
among DR.. Pocher's patients. Public
